Item 5. Other Events
Eric Langan, our President and Director, was charged by a Mobile, Alabama circuit court on charges related to a tanning salon that Mr. Langan previously owned and sold more than five years ago. The charges are completely and totally unrelated to our operations or activities, or Mr. Langan's relationship as our President and Director. The charges relate to a recently enacted statute in Alabama aimed at the adult entertainment business. The charges allege that Mr. Langan owned, had an interest in or was in control of, the tanning salon in Alabama where the State alleges that nudity occurred in violation of Section 13A-12-200.11 of the Code of Alabama. The charges are in connection with acts that purportedly occurred in January 2001 and March 2001, more than five years after Mr. Langan sold the tanning salon business.
Mr. Langan, who has not been in Mobile, Alabama for more than five years, stated that, "These charges are wholly without merit and I intend to aggressively and vigorously defend myself against these charges. I am confident that I will be completely vindicated in this matter."
This Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties.
